Is this a Hood Vent?

[ootalipseoo]

Just wondering if the emblem is a functional vent as well.

Looks like a vent to me, and if it is, it should be functional. It will allow the heat to come out, just like the evo hood.

The bumber or the hood?

 

[Syndicate13]

Looks almost like carbon weave to me. Like they painted the hood and left the symbol bare underneath.

 

[MikesDSM]

yea i dont see any holes in the symbol. looks like a carbon fiber hood painted

 

[dave99gst]

thats a tuffy

 

[ootalipseoo]

yeah I was thinking carbon fiber too but then it kinda looks lower when you look at the edges of the green so I was thinkin vent with a fine wire mesh.

 

[Slipstream]

i think it's painted with the carbon showing through on the symbol....think about it...how many underhood support runners are there under there? If it is truly a cutout then that hood has to flex like crazy which is just a bad idea...so I'll stick with thinking it is carbon.

It's also near-enough the windshield that the back half would be having air forced-in instead of exhausting at speed.

 

[Twizzle]

carbon or vent, its still ugly.

 

[MaNGiNa24]

Looks vented to me. The mesh sits lower than the actual hood and the pattern is too consistent to be a weave, the sun distorts the carbon fibers actual image.

yea he is right, that body kit is way over used but that car flows very nicely.

I don't know what it is, but it isn't a vent, unless he figured out a way to have the vent contour to the bump in the hood.

its not that hard to bend wire mesh.........

 

[theboogieman]

hmmmm....looks like it is cut out and then has mesh underneath, more than likely a fiberglass hood too. But it does look like the shadows around the edges would point towards it being cut out. And if that is carbon (I thnk it is a mesh, but not neccesarily the normal kind used) then that is a HUGE weave pattern! IF it is carbon than that is one hell of a clear coat build up....man that is deep!

i'd say its a vent

 

[Coup D E'Tat]

its not that hard to bend wire mesh.........

Well, the reason I say that is because it's a perfect fit. Looks too smooth to be some bent mesh.

To me, at least. But then again, I don't have much experience with this kind of stuff.

 

[igopoopy]

i say its mesh you ever look at mesh at an angel it looks like that you could bend it to match hood

 

[9D9 MITSU RS]

It's a vent. It's not completely flush with the hood. The mesh is playing tricks on u.

 

[FiReBReTHa]

correct.


look at it, think about the twill of CF, It Is NOT that big.

vents, and the car is fugly.
